Oh Cass-You and Dion make me smile :) About the house (and me), I prefer to call those slight imperfections character! It has a much better ring to it. My dogs will watch the dog show too---but I try to impress on them that beauty is really on the inside :)

Hi Cass, I love your wood floors! my goodness they are beautiful! the history of them must be amazing. And your stair case wooden railing is also amazing. Can you tell I just adore old homes with beautiful wood..Have a sweet day and hugs, Elizabeth

Oh- I love That Old House. I lived in that old house for years and loved IT too. There is just something about everything being not-quite-new, isn't there? LOVE your pictures and the reality of dusty plants that need watering. God bless you for sharing my shame! xxoo Diana

Hi Cass....so the sun really does shine up in Jersey...You could have fooled me...great pictures...love all the wood floors...and you are so right about the Pekinese...2 eyes attached to a mop head...no legs...no nothing..Loved the dog that won....like an anorexic Irish Wolfhound....we actually taped the Great Pyrenees and we have watched it over and over...looked exactly like our Boo...it's like he's back from the dead...I know we are crazy dog people....LOL

About Me

Who am I? That depends -- I'm a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend and volunteer. A lover of books & old houses & all that go with them -- also of fabrics, yarns, cut flowers, tart juicy apples, fresh empty notebooks (oh the possibilities!), salt water, dogs, and babies. I have been married to patient Howard for 36 years. Wow. Time flies when you're having fun!
